We got leafleted today about the "no more verbal declarations" from Feb 1st for Canadians visiting the US, ID must be shown, so I'm guessing no more Brits would be waved through on the basis of being in a Canadian-plated car after then either.

Piff Poff - can you get her one ahead of time? I don't know where Red Deer is, lousy geography of Alberta - sorry! - but could you nip over for some shopping and hang on to the I94W so she's got a valid one when she goes?

If there is an airport with flights to the US might be able to get one there or perhaps if there is a VIA train station try there. Also travel agents should have them.

Dont worry, they will leave you behind at the border to fend for yourself long before that becomes a possibility:D:unsure:

Hi - relatively new to the forums here.

Have Permanent Residence status in Ontario, Canada, but have yet to take a trip over to the USA. I have British citizenship.

Anyone know what I need to do to get myself across the border and back again in one piece without causing too much trouble to my Canadian friends who can cross the border no problem with the flash of their birth certificate! (OK, not quite, but y'know it's easier for them).

Specifically we are going on a bus trip to see an NHL game. What will border control want to see as I go into the US - any idea if they will keep us hanging around for long because of me, and also what do I do on the way back - I am assuming I can flash my PR card on my return...it's more the getting there I am concerned about.

Thanks! :beer:

Just a little question though, my daughter is going on a trip to the States with the Air Cadets and will have to fill out a I94w on her own (13), she has filled one out with my help before, so I'm sure she'll be OK doing that on her own. All of the other Air Cadets are proper Canadians, not Canadians in training, so she will hold the entire bus up, they are crossing at Vancouver - is this a really busy crossing? And can anyone foresee any problems that I haven't thought of?
